![]() OASIS 60 1/2 inches x 56 3/4 inches |
A layered fabric collage. I made many of the leaves and the large monarch butterfly for this quilt by layering silk, organza, netting, satin and tulle. Then I cut various flowers from an assortment of fabrics and created a collage with the leaves I made. |
![]() Detail of the Monarch Butterfly |
I started this quilt by creating layered fabric leaves and the monarch butterfly. I also created layered leaves and butterflies on the background corduroy fabric. |
![]() Detail of Gladiolus |
I fussy-cut these gladiolus from a cotton print and appliqued them to the backing fabric. |
![]() Detail of the Bottom Left Corner |
I love to mix different types of fabric and textures to create a surface that is interesting to the touch and the eye! |
![]() Detail of Orchids |
I was planning to enter this quilt into the National Orchid Society's annual contest. But, I made a huge mess of the background of this quilt and had to start over! I solved the problem by cutting the original orchid group out from the ruined background. Then I satin-stitched the edges of the entire cut-out group of flowers and stitched it to a new background! This slowed down my progress and I missed the NOS contest deadline! But, I was happy to have worked through my problem and finish the quilt successfully! |
![]() Detail of the Bottom Center Leaves |
In this photo you can see the details that went into creating many of the leaves I created for this quilt. I used decorative threads when I appliqued the cut-out floral grouping. Metallic threads, colored and different sized threads add lots of detail to the surface of the quilt. |
![]() Detail of Free-style Quilting Stitches |
Having the ability to draw does help me with the finishing quilting stitches!
I used a marking wheel filled with and iron-off chalk to draw the leaves and butterflies onto the background of the quilt. I then stitched along the chalk lines to continue the floral collage. A warm iron erases the chalk after the stitching is done! |
